I have long felt that eventually Reiki would be in the US what medicine and the health care industry decides it is. Never did I imagine that Catholic bishops would help move this along. This apparent obstacle is a call to action and a sign of how significantly Reiki is showing up in health care.

Practitioners and students learning to think critically and communicate our practice credibly is a powerful antidote to this poison. If we look at most of the way Reiki is represented on the internet, the main wonder is that this didn't happen sooner.

Kudos for being on top of this. I'll be writing about it soon in ReikiUpdate.

Thanks, Pamela.
